But what about [insert your county here]? Don’t worry, we’ll be producing a series of articles that will cover every county in Ireland – even yours – over the next few weeks. See the ones we’ve already covered here.
1. There was that Hurling Championship win over Antrim
That was a good day out (just a shame the Faithful faced Kilkenny and Tipp in their other Championship fixtures).
2. It was another big year for Kilcormac Killoughey
The club won their third consecutive county title.
3. KK produced a dramatic finish to overcome Raharney in the Leinster quarter-final
Trailing in the last five minutes, they hit 1-4 without reply, Dan Currams’ goal acting as the cherry on the cake.
4. Rhode thrashed Navan O’Mahony’s and Moorefield in the Leinster football championship
5. There was a Leinster final appearance too
Unfortunately, there was only a runners-up medal in store.
6. Shane Lowry underlined his status in the big time, coming in third at The Open Championship
7. The Clara man earned a cool €1,7 million on the European Tour this year
8. And he’s already got started on his 2015 figure
Great beard too.
9. Walsh Island’s Niamh Kavanagh was among Ireland’s heroic women’s rugby squad at the World Cup
There’s Kavanagh on the right.
10. Only King Henry stopped Kilcormac-Killoughy in the Leinster club hurling final
